CANCELLATIONS: Charters can be cancelled for a partial refunded, a five percent (5%) processing charge will be applied if charter is cancelled more than 4 weeks before sailing date. Every effort will be made to reschedule a postponed charter, at no charge. If your group cannot reschedule: Cancellations 2-4 weeks before the charter date, will be charged 15% cancellation fee. Charters cancelled two weeks- 72 hours before the event will be charged 40%. Cancellations less than 72 hours before the event will be charged in full. If the Captain cancels for any reason, unforeseen circumstances or inclement weather, a full refund is given.
If Captain cancels for inappropriate or illegal behavior, no refunds will be given.
WEATHER: Cancellations due to weather will be at the Captain's discretion.
Inclement weather is defined as cold or stormy conditions which exceed the average passing summer shower, and require more than a season-appropriate jacket. The charter leader will be notified within 2 hours of the charter if there is a threat of weather cancellation if possible. Very few charters are cancelled due to weather, and it is possible to set up a drizzle proof tarp on the main deck in case of a passing shower. However our sincere desire is that you have a pleasant experience aboard, and we will do our best to have your charter proceed as planned on that day.

WEATHER: Cancellations due to weather will be at the Captain's discretion that day. We consider sailing a rain or shine event. No Refunds, unless the Captain has canceled your scheduled sail. We reserve the right to delay departure and subsequent return to the dock for up to 90 minutes. The return times to the dock are estimated.
Concessions and Bar: Windy has a soft drink and snack concession all day, and limited bar service. Bar service is cash only, and includes a selection of beer, wine and Tall Ship Specialty drinks of the day! You may be treated to Red Witch Royale or the soon-to be famous Windy Breeze.
Although Windy will be having bar service aboard, it is not the intention to function as a full-service drinking establishment. Windy supports the spirit of Navy Pier as a family oriented visitor destination, and in order to maintain the serenity of the sailing experience, we actively discourage a "booze-cruise" atmosphere. We do permit safe and responsible drinking. Windy is, as always, a non-smoking and drug free environment. Windy reserves the right to refuse bar service to guests. No food or beverage items are allowed to be carried aboard.
